ABOUT DIVE-MEDICAL
Spanish technology at the service of global health
About the company
Since 2013 we have been engaged in the development of a tool to assess visual function in very young children in order to detect visual pathologies as early as possible.
Victoria Pueyo
Pediatric ophthalmologist. Co-founder of DIVE Medical
DIVE emerged from the difficulties experienced everyday by ophthalmologists and pediatricians when examining the visual function of preverbal and non-verbal patients. Pediatric ophthalmologists and optometrists from the Hospital Miguel Servet (Zaragoza, Spain) and engineers from the Universidad de Zaragoza (Spain) worked together to develop a device for fast and accurate examination of the visual function in small children. After five years of research, DIVE-Medical S.L. was founded to bring the benefits of this device to all ophthalmologists, pediatricians and optometrists.
Our vision is to ensure that everyone lives at their full potential across lifetime through early vision diagnosis and treatment.
Our mission is to provide universal, affordable and effective means to prevent vision impairment and vision-related developmental problems.
